I have my old EVGA 750i FTW, 2GB of PC6400, E8400, and a ATI 650 HD sitting around gathering dust and I figured I could use it for a HTPC. The intent is to watch TV, stream movies and dink around on the web. I'll get a Blu-ray drive sometime down the line. This is all going to be hooked up to a old Panny LCD through HDMI (32", only 720p).
I was thinking of purchasing to round out the build:
Case: Silverstone LC13B
Video Card: Asus 5670
Hard Drive: WD Green10EVDS 1TB
PS: Corsair CX400
Heatsink: any suggestions?
Is there anything else I'm missing? I was thinking the chip and mb are a bit overkill and was thinking of selling them and buying more "suitable' HTPC components but figured I'd run it by the [H] to gather any suggestions.
